Why Big Creek Trails dries this way
Big Creek Trails sits in OR, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Whether it’s worth riding comes down to how that ground sheds and holds water after rain. That’s exactly what Loam tracks, hour by hour. At 390 ft, Big Creek Trails rides W-facing ground that gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture; the gentle grade, around 4.2° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
